He''s gooooorgeous!
I love the first photo, that's a great shot of you both.

My Jessie is the complete opposite, he gets upset if our lawn is wet and tip toes through it and will whine if there is anything in his fur.
He's a huge diva. He hates the brush too, he sees it more as a game and you have to give him his other brush to play with, or he refuses to be brushed
at all. He loves bathtime though and is the same, falling asleep while being dried off.

HaHa! That is hilarious!
Little Diva boy, I love it.
Oliver is a little funny about water, he will paddle now after lots of encouragement, but he won't swim.
I know he can swim as I took him for a swimming lesson to check! hahaha!
That was funny too, I have a photo of that (obviously!), and his eyes were so wide open as he was desperately trying to swim to the edge to me!! lol

Oliver dislikes baths greatly, when he has had enough of being washed/brushed he puts one of his front paws on my arm and gives me the saddest eyes begging me to stop.... Just makes me chuckle and I carry on regardless!

Madeline! You may be the perfect one to answer my question! I noticed you said that you and Oliver walk miles together. I am hoping to do the same with my Chloe Louise. She's only 7 months now, so the rule of thumb I'm using is 1 minute for every week old that she is (maximum).

Did you follow something similar for Oliver? How did you introduce him to longer walks over time? Did he like it? (Did you go with the minute per week age rule?)

Any suggestions you have would be appreciated! I hope Chloe and I can follow in your footsteps soon... before my workout pants get too tight while I'm waiting for her to be my workout buddy!
